Recipes Side Dish Vegetables Squash Baked Delicata Squash with Lime Butter 4.5 (114) 90 Reviews 9 Photos This baked delicata squash is tender and sweet, with edible skin. Delicata is an heirloom squash that's creamy yellow with green stripes on the outside and slightly sweet orange flesh — it's my favorite. My sister suggested this lime butter topping (my personal favorite), but a blend of maple syrup and butter is good too. Delicata squash are usually not very big, so plan on two servings per squash.
